It would have been hard to tell for certainty at the time you asked your question because the tax reform was passed in late 2017.

They have been late three months in a row.

Your Financial Goals are as simple as generating two very basic sets of number...dollars really:1)  Make enough Profit (lump sum returns) to Pay Off your personal debt...ALL of it.2)  Get enough CashFlow to "cover" your monthly bills...ALL of them...and to replace your current method of doing so.The overall Plan, is comprised of a series of Measureable Milestones made up of groups  of the individual Financial Goals (Debt Payoff, Cash Flow)...all lined up in a row.  

My current tenants brought the issue to my attention about 4 months ago and I have not been able to find a GC to work with...don't return calls, wont do estimate if I'm not on premises etc etc....Tenant gave notice 6 weeks ago that they are moving out end of Sept, so tried some more GC and nothing.... then Harvey hit.....So now I need a GC to do a remodel at the end of Sept with me managing it from CA......at a time when the GC work is in high demand....I have a few other calls in but nothing definitive right now...... looking for other referrals....

I am not following all of the numbers - mostly the cash on cash return $55k in for $6,944 annually.

Investing in a REIT will give you a lower rate of return than a well bought multiunit - house hacking is the easiest way to get in with that amount of capital - otherwise, you need more than that for the down payment - depending on prices in your area.

Thank you for the response, I really appreciate it - I hope everything returns to normal soon.

My cash-on-cash return is 11.2% (which I believe is great in the LA area).

The fund would be investing 100,000 for 5 years and getting an estimated return of 18 - 24% annually over the course.
